Jaci + Andy | Harvard, Il Engagement Session

Beautiful weather and two amazing people to photograph on their farm in Harvard, Il makes for an amazing end to the week. Welcome Jaci & Andy to the blog folks and make them feel welcome.

Short 30 minute ride from home base to Harvard, Il so I could arrive at my usual 10 minutes early to the farm and home of these two good looking people. Now, I’m not always in the country, but when I am it’s to photograph a couple or a family or even a wedding cause this guy is definitely a city slicker. Such a good movie btw.

6:00pm was our target time to start and after a quick showing of the awesome building their wedding is going to be at and learning a little bit about corn and how it’s dried and made we went off on a fantastical adventure through the property and beyond. Wheat fields, corn fields, ponds, corn silos, old barns and even woods surround their beautiful property which basically meant I was a photographer in a camera store with a platinum card in hand.

Since we had all this amazing light I used it to my advantage and basically just tried to make these two feel at ease with a big bearded guy taking their photos. Thankfully my jokes were working or they are nice enough to laugh when they think I said something funny. We are a few months away from wedding day but I can tell it’s going to be an amazing time and I can’t wait to see you two again. Thank you so much for the adventure and the free mosquito bites!!
